It was a cold spring morning in London. People walking in the street were wearing heavy clothes. The weather had been very bad for the past week, and now many people were ill. Today there were quite a few people in the doctor's waiting room. There were still a few minutes before the doctor started seeing the patients (患者).A woman of about sixty years old was at the front of the queue (排队). She did not live in this city. She came from a farm north of London. She was here to visit her daughter who was a secretary in a big company. She wanted to see the doctor because of her back problem. Soon an Indian (印地安人) came into the waiting room, and walked straight to the doctor's door. When she saw this, the old woman stood up and took hold of his arm. She said, slowly, "We were all here before you. You must wait for your turn. Do ... you ... understand?" The Indian answered, "No, madam. YOU don't understand! You're all after me! I am the doctor!" 　　1. The change of weather made a lot of people sick.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesn't say.
　　2. The old woman's home was in London.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesn't say
　　3. The old woman's daughter was at the doctor's, too.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesn't say.
　　4. The old woman thought the man was the doctor.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesn't say.
　　5. All the other people in the room knew the Indian was the doctor.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesn't say.
　　【名师精解】本题的正确答案是：[A],[B],[C],[B],[C].第一小题从The weather had been very bad for the past week, and now many people were ill.中可以知道人们得病得原因是坏天气，所以是对的；第二小题从She came from a farm north of London.可知The old woman's home was not in London but in a farm north of London.所以此说法是错的；第三小题从原文中找不到与之对应的表述，所以是没有提及。此题需要注意不能因为A woman of about sixty years old was at the front of the queue.这句话就判断此表述错误，因为此句中并不能排除the old woman's daughter在诊所的可能；第四小题从When she saw this, the old woman stood up and took hold of his arm. She said, slowly, "We were all here before you. You must wait for your turn. Do ... you ... understand?"中可以明显看出The old woman didn’t think the man was the doctor.所以此说法是错误的；第五小题在原文中也没有与之对应的表述，文中只叙述了the old woman的表现，并没有叙述其他人的表现，所以此针对all the people 的表述是没有提及的。

　　【名师精解】本题的正确答案是：[A],[C],[B],[A],[B].可以肯出这六道题目都属于细节判断的题目，在解答这类题目时，我们应该找到原文中相应的句子。第一道小题的答案可以从下面的句子得出：Thousands of people from all over the world come to visit the university town.. It has become a famous place all around the world.我们从常识可以判断作为一个旅游胜地，从绝对人数上说，到剑桥旅游的人必然多于到剑桥求学的学；第二小题可以从以下句子得出：The university is the city. You can find the classroom buildings, libraries, museums and offices of the university all over the city. And most of its members are the students and teachers or professors of the thirty-one colleges. 从常识判断the member of museum or office不会是学生和教授,这样就排除了[A]，因此我们可以把中间的句子抽出来，这样从句子结构中可以明显的看出its指代的是the University of Cambridge；第三小题可以从以下句子判断：Cambridge was already a developing town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago.理解了句子意思，考生只需做一个简单的减法运算就可以得出正确答案；第四小题可以从以下句子判断：It grew up by the river Granta, as the Cam was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875.In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries more and more land was used for college buildings.这道题目的答案不在原文中，需要考生做一些推理。既然学校一度被叫过the river 的名字Granta，从学校现在的名字the university of Cambridge以及文中的信息A bridge was built over the river as early as 875.不难推断出剑桥名字的由来；第五小题It grew up by the river Granta , as the Cam was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875. 只要理解了这个句子的意义，相信不难得出正确答案；第六小题可以从以下句子中判断：The town grew much faster in the nineteenth century after the opening of the railway in 1845. Cambridge became a city in 1951 and now it has a population (人口) of over 100,000.从这些句子的意义可以看出，剑桥的人口是不断增加的。从Thousands of people from all over the world come to visit the university town.一句中可以看出到剑桥旅游的人不只是国外的人，肯定也会有国内的人。从no one can give them a clear answer for there is no wall to be found around the university.中可以看出剑桥一向没有围墙，从整体的文意看，也不会有建造围墙的计划。
